I am setting up a client with vpn to access a samba share. The samba

nothing too complicated as far as routing goes, and the vpn stuff (openvpn

specifying the name and vpn interface address of the share.
I am using layer three bridging (IP over a tun interface), not layer
two (ethernet over a tap interface)
But what I would need to do to allow clients to browse shares on this
one machine.
Is there a way to configure the Windows client (and samba if
necessary) to allow browsing of shares, without switching everything over to
ethernet bridging (which seems a lot to do do for simple task).
I assume this is, at heart, a fairly simple browsing across subnets
question. Please forgive my cluelessness.
I think the instructions at
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html#DMB
will solve your problem - I assume you are not using a domain? Anyway, set
your VPN server up to be the domain master browser and you should be
laughing.
I have set my VPN up to be the domain master browser, it
still does not appear to be working.
If you are using a VPN configuration interface that lets you hand out
options as well as addresses, you might consider running a WINS server as
well.
I am running a wins server, and I am pushing the WINS server
details via the VPN (successfully as far as I can tell).
Any suggestions for how to work out what is going wrong here?

David
